Financial resources ref lect needs UNICEF assistance to Belarus for 2011-2015 expanded to $8m The Executive Board of the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has unanimously approved a draft UNICEF country programme for Belarus, covering 2011-2015, at its annual session at the UN Headquarters in New York. One of its most vital goals is to help Belarusian children in accordance with national priorities. Compared to the previous programme, UNICEF assistance to Belarus (from regular and additional resources) will be increased by 40 percent, to reach $8m. While presenting the document at the UNICEF annual session, Belarus’ Permanent Representative to the UN, Andrei Dapkiunas, particularly stressed the programme’s aim to support children living in Chernobyl affected areas, as well as disabled and handicapped children. The attention of members of the UNICEF Executive Board and Secretariat was drawn to the necessity of raising financial resources for the new programme, taking into account Belarus’ needs. This address was also supported by other members of the UNICEF Executive Board.
